Obvisouly Kurt missed the point here.f789790 hasnt.The fact you have to put in pretty much night day hours to be at the top doesnt mean you are a nerd which I never implied here but it means that you have a serious addiction and nothing else in the world matters.Which is where my comment was going.GTF outside and live a real life.Masa2009 just tells me that he has no idea of what comparing apples to oranges means.People collecting items is a whole different thing they dont spend every winking moment doing one thing to be on top.I play alot of games but being educated and going outdoors is a little more important then sitting hours on end destroying my brain cells to be on top of a game.Theres more to life then just that.

I think you need to watch a few new TV channels. There are hobbies that do the same thing... Collecting stuff can take all day and night depending on what it is. Organizing it and learning when and where to go. There are jobs for people doing this.....

Its no different than being a gym freak. If you are at the gym 7 hours a day anyone can say "go do something else"

The comments about him being a nerd and not having a life are really immature and uncalled for. The dude clearly put a lot of time into the game, if that's what he wants to do with his time then more power to him. It's pretty messed up of people to do this to him.

ok, it's possible to know ip of other player on both gaming network. But only on games that are P2P. Play games with dedicated servers, your data is not sent directly to another user so your IP is not visible to other user.

"Both the Xbox 360 and New Xbox versions of Destiny will be cross-compatible. ****It’s all the same Xbox Live, after all"***

Oh it's all the same alright, security flaws and all. Like I said show me PROOF that this is reproducible on PSN; provide me the links that show a users personal info was acquired in the PSN attack until then it's all just BS.

Dude sorry to say but you're an idiot...like many people have stated before, that the DDOS attack has nothing to do with xbox live security and you should probably learn what you are talking about b4 you go blabering on about something you know nothing about. Someone can just as easily DDOS you off your PSN account as they could your XBL account. Oh and maybe you should care a little less about what people are buying next gen...if you don't want the next xbox then don't buy it its as simple as that, nobody else cares about what you think they should or shouldn't buy. True gamers don't align themselves with one single brand.

it's precisely the lack of humanity that's disheartening. sure, it's just a videogame. not life and death. but to deliberately harass someone over a game, unsolicitedly, just because they're doing better than you? yeah, i'd say that's a ding against humanity alright.

It definitely does take skill But it also takes countless hours of playing everyday to remain number 1 My clan leader so far has 12 days counted in and going( approximately 288 hours) I've barely reached 2 days He's definitely dedicated

It does take skill to play in cod I have a cousin who is a halo player usually getting top scorer.he tried playing with me cod a few games and he was pretty useless He even admitted it himself is a lot harder than it seems

i'm glad BF3 doesnt get this sort of attention now. kind of a double edged sword, get millions of players and get the crap that comes with it. up until now, i wished more people would play bf3, now not so much.

Most of the time i played i would find 2 guys from both sides using tac insertion in some hidden corner and raking up killstreaks then let it go with VTOL, K9 and Swarm. First half one guy does then 2nd guy in 2nd half. If only stupid idiots remove the tac insertion it will stop these kiddies from boosting.

Love how MS fan boys always bring up the PSN being down like it was a group of little kids that hacked it, Like peoples accounts on Xbox. 1 big difference is the PSN was attacked by Anonymous well known hacker group have to live under a rock not to know them. If you have noticed MS has made sure to stay away from anything that so much as catches there attention. Sony went after the guy that finally hacked the PS3 in court so Anonymous made a prime example of them. Wasn't just PSN, Sony's websites on all fronts were attacked. Then they realized they were punishing the wrong people (PSN) brought it back up an continued to attacked other Sony Websites. Xbox might not have been down for a month but hey Pay $9.99 a month to be cursed out by 12 year old's tripping on Monster an think the only game that matters every 12 months is COD. I've owned both consoles so don't come with the fan boy shit. An o yea that same 12 year old could potentially hack your account an with all MS's so called security measures you would still have to jump through flaming hoops just to get it back. Problem is MS ignores the issues an sweep them under a rug. While Sony public addresses there issues so they are scorned for it. Lol What world do you people live in.

Can you tell me how they could hack an xbox account and or give me some proof. All that is needed for a DDOS is an ip address which is very easy to change so I am not sure why this guy did not just reset his router or ask his ISP to change his IP if that does not work for him. Plus I love how both fanboy groups are using this article as a way to attack either company when neither is responsible.

What is worse, having all your credentials in the open or paying to play online with 12 year olds? Think before you post fan-boyish answers.

Also, I've been an Xbox Live member for four years. I've had kids threatening to hack my account over CoD. Has it happened at all over the four years? No. If accounts were so easily hacked, why are there no posts about it here? http://forums.xbox.com/xbox...

" While Sony public addresses there issues so they are scorned for it"

Lol I had an Xbox 2 had an account for 8 years Mac42o just tired of there bs. All your links are pointless half of them are idiots or spam. Posting in the MS forums an getting back a straight answer is like talking to a brick wall. Just keep paying $8 a month for XBL while your dashboard is flooded with companies advertisements that cost millions to claim that little 4x4 tile but your still paying for basic services that offer nothing over any other interface except XBL party chat. Don't own a Ps3 either just tired of people bring up the PSN being down. If MS would piss of Anonymous there shit would get wiped too. So don't think there sitting behind the ultimate security system because its far from it. An most people with hacked accounts aren't in the forums waiting hours for a reply they call XBL directly an bitch till it gets fixed. But then again your an idiot so you probably sit in a forum.

You clearly did not understand the purpose of each link. The first one was to show that there aren't people having their accounts hacked everyday. You imply that Xbox accounts can get hacked easily by 10-year olds. Also, how is it talking to a brick wall? You clearly have not been on the website before because you can chat directly to a Microsoft support employee. This shows that the 'pay to play' money isn't wasted.

"All your links are pointless half of them are idiots or spam"

That is what I was showing you... God. The last two links were to show 'idiots' being banned. Here is your DIRECT quote:

" Problem is MS ignores the issues an sweep them under a rug"

See how your argument is invalid now? And yeah, maybe Microsoft was smart not to mess with a powerful hacking group so they didn't get hacked.

"An most people with hacked accounts aren't in the forums waiting hours for a reply they call XBL directly an bitch till it gets fixed"

Yeah, or they use the online chat. Last time I used it, there was no wait time. I was first in line.

" But then again your an idiot so you probably sit in a forum."

I bet you don't know what's ironic about that.

Oh yeah, where's that proof of Sony 'scorning' people for cheating and hacking?

I'm sure, if you check his overall play time, you're probably right. Or not. Who knows. I suspect however, like 'f789790' above, such an 'achievement' would demand an unfathomable amount of dedication and free time.

This statement said by one of the commenters is so true. "People these days are getting ridiculous. For some reason, the new generation of gamer's have no emotional control, are entitled to everything, and never take responsibility for anything. It is extremely rare to hear someone over COD say, "Wow, I went 5-16...maybe I need to change what I'm doing?" Instead you get yelling matches about camping and how the other people don't play the game correctly.".. End quote. Gamers this generation are a different breed.

Amen. I remember a time when gamers took it like a man if they lost instead of crying about it and hurling insults - but I guess that's what happens when prepubescents are allowed to play games rated 18+.

I try. I've gone "wow you totally had me the whole game" and several times the person takes that as a "feel free to trash talk me the entire mid game area"

If a person is actually good, i'll admit it. If they are camping panzies, i'll say it, but normally I finish better than them.

I do agree though. I have friends that constantly complain about everyone. In BF3 they will whine about everything you do. I'll be capturing flags and doing the job, and I'll be "doing it wrong" somehow. Meanwhile the whiner is sitting in a jet dive bombing the other team the entire match, not really helping with the objective at all. Some of them even start kicking you or throwing fits, then come back when they keep losing lol

All of you people who are just using this to insult the person, seriously, go f*ck yourself. Yes, COD is an overrated pile of garbage, but there had to be SOMEONE who was ranked number #1, because, well, people play it. In the end, we are all dead anyways so take your elitist attitude and shove it.

I personally don't care about the dude too much, and how much time he spent on the game, but that is considerably rude. Especially considering that he did spend all that time trying to level up, but it doesn't make sense why he didn't block the incoming IP addresses, or even try to find out who attacked him.
